I keep on watching the series but they're puttint too much story in the series, I hated the fact that Sam wasnt going all out demon anymore his powers were pretty awesome and kind of dark-sided, I still hope that will make its return. The whole thing about the old gun and them demons was pretty cool, didnt like the leviathan saga.. to me it didnt seem like it was a well written story that could merge into the already excisting story line..

And now with the angel crap, its OK I guess but not as good as it used to be.. In general the series seems kind of random as to what happens and what kind of story will unfold.

Both, I think. Every monster ends up there, but so far I think they've only shown vamps and Leviathan. It makes sense, as they're probably the two largest populations of monsters in the Supernatural universe. The latest episode where Sam does the second trial, it was completely vampires, but the flashbacks with Castiel were almost solely Leviathan with maybe one or two exceptions. Even though they're not always getting the time to open their mouths since they're basically still the same cannon fodder from last season, any time you see a glob of black sludge suddenly slam into the ground, it's a Levi. I actually really like the way they appear like that, but I sill wish they were a bit more of a threat.

Guess I never noticed the black sludge during any of these later episodes. I'll have to keep a closer eye out for it.

As I said earlier, this makes sense as it is a new writer. Basically the original writer of the show quit after I think season 5 and they got someone new. This new person says they have story for 10 seasons of the show. I tried to find the article I remember reading but couldn't but I did find this one that explains it pretty well. http://screenrant.com/supernatural-s...jeremy-carver/

And in my opinion. Holy hell, what a finale. I highly recommend you watch this season. Maybe it doesn't top season 5.
But with everything that is happening, it sure it back on the right track. It probably is my second favourite season. Which is very good.
Basicly, the whole game is changing.

I quite enjoyed this season, even though seasons 6-7 were quite boring. One peeve i have though is with the current season finale.I thought all characters behaved way way off. First, we got naomi who was always so full of herself suddenly being extra friendly. Then we have Crowley who is begging to be saved. I mean, i know he's being trapped, but begging? really? Last but not least, given a choice to "get rid of all demons forever" or "save his brother, who has already died before, and will probably die again quite soon" dean chooses the latter. I mean, brolove and all that, but bigger picture anyone? I honestly do not agree. Plus, the sudden vengeance of the Scribe - ... He's been away hiding for thousands of years, not giving a shit, then suddenly he wants to banish everyone. Okay.

Is it an interesting twist and something i might look forward to? Sure. Is this something that i would consider well done & well written? Fuck no.

But remember what the blood is meant to do, it's meant to turn the demon human. In the episode before, when the Father was doing his last experimenter, the demon was behaving a lot differently throughout being injected. But I do agree with the "brother or get rid of all the demons". I thought Sam should have did it, but it wouldn't make a good season 9 without demons I suppose.

Perhaps i wasnt clear. I wasnt talking about crowley begging after being cured. Im talking about him begging demons for help. THAT was way out of character

Yeah, I think I'd agree in saying that the finale didn't really solve anything. And while I found the twist to be somewhat interesting, IMO it was on the lower end of finale twists. Leaves a little to be desired.

I really like the finale myself. I think this entire season has been on track like it hasn't been since season 5. The expansion of the world introducing new creatures, the most probably being the non bad guy ones and even some of the new villains.

Crowley losing his composure was fine it didn't bother me. He's has always tucked his tail between his legs when things are bad for him. Typically though yes most witnesses are dead by this point so he is only doing it in front of the brothers. But more importantly I can't wait till next season to get some serious Abaddon vs Crowley.

As for them not choosing to close the doors to hell I'm also fine with that and never believed that they would. They've sacrificed a lot for the cause they should be allowed a pass. Some feel that it left the season with the feeling of nothing accomplished, but not all season go out with a big win, and yea this was more of a lose season for them. Also it's to final to the story, I mean if that occurred the next big thing would be vampire extinction, which could be accomplished. After that werewolves could go, then really all you'd have left was ghosts as a major threat and where would you go. But I don't think the brothers would go there, I think they are realizing that you can have good monsters like Benny.

As for Sam not being demon blood empowered anymore I think its been a good development of the character, but there is always the chance that he could dip into it again, I mean if he got desperate enough I could see him doing it to save Dean. But I'm glad that it was on the back burner for awhile, and wouldn't complain if it came into the story again.

Cool new things this season:Men of Letters + Winchester Batcave
Abaddon
Garth (aka the new Bobby, though I still miss the old)
Benny
Kate (the werewolf chick, I'd like her to be like a Benny)
the Golem
Teen Hunter Trio

Things I don't like this season:Kevin Trans complaining, he needs to just accept his new life.
Benny trapped back in Purgatory- I want him back D:

I've enjoyed pretty much every episode in every season, and i watched them all like 7 times so big yay for me :P The only thing i miss is some of the earlier supporting characters like the ppl at the roadhouse and i would like some more baddies like Azazel and Alastair

Season 8 hasn't been the strongest season, but overall i've enjoyed it.

The first half of the season struggled with the purgatory story being a little weak, and the flashbacks to Sam's time with Amelia were just BORING, but the last half of the season has been really good and the final 5 minutes of this episode were jaw droppingly amazing. The angels falling was really cool.

The men of letters + Abaddon was awesome, and i wish they had explored them more. Hopefully s9.

I'm going to rewatch supernatural s1-8 in the hiatus

My weekly podcast can be downloaded here this week, the question is asked.. how do you deal with an asshole gardener???

yah now that i think about it, there weren't that many good Monster of the Week filler episodes in Season 8, or at least good memorable ones.

Depends how you want to classify this. The cartoon episode I thought was pretty good. The LARP episode was hysterical in my opinion (Dean giving the braveheart speech c'mon..). You already mentioned the golem episode. The witch/familiar episode was mildly entertaining as well.
